HELP Please : yum install denied

[beanslink]

Hello everyone Im very new to the linux os on the ps3. My first time instaling and everything seemed to go ok, (weird I know). So onto the next thing, trying to get to the emulators. I followed steps on a youtube video to the tee (steps are below). However when I go to root to run yum protectbase I get this error. [root@localhost ~]# yum protectbase Loading "installonlyn" plugin Options Error: Error parsing 'http://download.fedora.redhat.co m/pub/fedora/linux/extras/6/ppc': URL must be http, ftp, file or https not ""
I tried the command /etc/yum.repos.d/* only to get this error [root@localhost ~]# /etc/yum.repos.d/*
-bash: /etc/yum.repos.d/dribble.repo: Permission denied. Can someone please help. It would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone Im very new to the linux os on the ps3. My first time instaling and everything seemed to go ok, (weird I know). So onto the next thing, trying to get to the emulators. I followed steps on a youtube video to the tee (steps are below). However when I go to root to run yum protectbase I get this error.

We suggest following the steps in this post to start:

Howto: Install software (the easy way) YDL 6

then, if you have problems, go here:

Solving problems with Installing Software

Taking a quick look at what you posted, it appears you skipped the step where you invoke a file editor. /etc/yum.repos.d/* is not a command - that's a wildcard search. You'd use that in conjunction with a command like gedit - i.e. gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/*

Can you post a link to the steps you followed? The link above from pleasantfiction.ipower.com is broken. Also - a link to the YouTube video would be great.

Cheers,

If you could please point me in the right direction on some steps to follow to get this up and running, and maybe other steps to get the snes, nes, sega emulators. That would be greatly appreciated. You guys are AWESOME Thanks, Steve

Ooops - you broke one of our few forum rules. Please don't double post questions. Since you've posted this as a separate question, I'll lock this thread.
